'... never done': women's work in the home
Closing 9 May 2010
This exhibition shows the creative skills
and hard work of women in Australian
homes during the past 100 years or so. You will see how the never-ending tasks of washing, sewing, cooking, cleaning, and caring for children have changed — and not changed.
'... never done': women's work in the home displays the hidden history of the daily work of women, focussing on an 1880s bush-hut kitchen and a 1920s 'germ-free' kitchen. See the dramatic changes that have occurred — and not occurred — and the creativity and skill of women in the home
